I think it left the factory so misaligned, that it's off a whole click!

When I read posts like this I genuinely hope that Rolex releases the same exact watch with an updated movement to crush the value of the old version. Speculators gon’ speculate

Give the man a break!
Maybe he doesn't like it so much and waiting for BW to see if they discontinue it, in which case the price will skyrocket.
Not everyone is mad in love with the green...

Factory sticker are already gone. Just wear it. The market price is already high enough and it's not going to go over $14000

I remember the first time I saw an LVC in person. It was sitting in the case at Tourneau in NYC, They had an 114060 and all the Explorers but no other ss ports models. The LV was unloved back then(2014) believe it or not and it could be found similar to the way the original LV could be found.
But when I picked it up the first thing I said was WOW!! I bought it a few months later. The green is alluring and photos just can't transfer the beauty you see with your eyes.

A big congrats.

'BNIB' make me think you planning on selling? Are you just waiting to see if the LV is discontinued at BaselWorld?

In other words you just bought to speculate? Did you at least pay MSRP?

Wear it - life's too short to not enjoy these luxury goods that no one needs.

I'm guessing he didn't get it at retail only because the title says BNIB. Either way, it's a shame not to wear it but to each his own.
